Safe Arrival

Reporting Student Absence


Paradise Intermediate uses the Safe Arrival app to report student absences. Families are encouraged to view the attached document and download the Safe Arrival app prior to the beginning of the school year. Families will be asked to use one of the three methods listed below to report if their child will not be in attendance on a particular day.


1. Using your mobile device, download and install the School Messenger app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store (or from the links at go.schoolmessenger.ca). The first time you use the app, select Sign Up to create your account. Select Attendance then Report an Absence.


2. Use the SafeArrival website (go.schoolmessenger.ca). The first time you use the website, select Sign Up to create your account. Select Attendance then Report an Absence.


3. Call the toll-free number (844) 408-9360 to report an absence using the automated phone system.

Please note that the system does not offer an option for a partial day absence. If your child will be absent for any part of the day, please enter as a full day absence and our Administrative staff will make any attendance changes when your child arrives at school and signs in at our office.
